First Fridays, Monthly ​May - September

Activities begin at 6:00pmMovie at dusk (approx. 7:45pm)

Cox introduced the Movies in the Park summer series in 2003 with a projector and a repurposed bed sheet. Since that time, Movies in the Park has grown and has now become a community favorite across Pima and Cochise Counties.

Cox invites area residents to bring a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy a free movie. Food vendors, live music, jumping castles, and arts and crafts exhibits will be set up for guests to enjoy. Unique activities will be highlighted and will rotate each week including community demonstrations, special guest appearances and fun activities for children. The event will also include food trucks to provide movie snacks and dinner for purchase throughout the showing.

“Cox believes that the local community is at the root of everything that we do. We deeply believe in being good neighbors and supporting the communities were we work and live in.” said Lisa Lovallo, Cox Communications Region Vice President, Southern Arizona. “We appreciate and thank the community for its ongoing support of Cox as we actively seek opportunities to bring neighbors together.”

Free Admission

Attendees are invited to bring their own chairs and blankets. No chairs are provided. There is no cost to attend the movies. Movies are approximately 90-120 minutes in length.
